• Abstract:

  The aim of this work is to carry out a systematic literature review of studies on Organic Certification Processes in Brazil, focusing on animal products. The production of organic food optimizes the use of natural and socio-economic resources and fundamentally respects the culture of rural communities. It also values economic and ecological sustainability, increasing benefits, minimizing the use of non-renewable energies, without using synthetic materials or genetically modified organisms. The work is fundamental because it will provide theoretical and methodological support for other students and professionals on the subject of Certification of organic animal products in Brazil. Firstly, there will be a general approach to the consumption of organic food in the world and in Brazil, followed by an approach to organic animal products and animal welfare. A third section will focus on food safety and the conventional and organic production systems. In addition, the main pieces of legislation that deal with the subject in question and the certification processes for organic products will also be discussed.
